Many thanks to Heidi for hosting this week. A great theme with lots of possibilities. I have quite a lot of arches in my archive, took me a while to decide which ones to post.

1) Natural arch at Valley Of Fire, Nevada.

2) Archway to the gardens at Picton Castle, Wales.

3) Arch of an old stone bridge over the Western Cleddau River, Wales.

4) Wooden frame inside a stone arch at Aberglasny Gardens, Wales.

Good afternoon. Love this theme with so many possibilities! Thanks, Anders. And thanks for putting my pair of pups up as banner shot. Here are my Family Photos:

I could barely see them through the trees, but was delighted to catch a glimpse of two fawns nursing.

Florida does have cold days, this was one. A family took their dogs for a walk.

In 1967 my family took a trip to California and went down the coast from San Francisco. I snapped a shot of my sister, then 8. Heidi might recognize this spot, I think it is still popular.

As usual I will comment on your pictures on Facebook.

Many thanks to Anders for hosting this week. A good theme, should be interesting to see what folks come up with. Of course, for one shot I took the literal meaning. 

1) Four generations of my family. From left to right - grandfather, twin uncles, great-grandfather, me. Taken around 1966.

2) Very trusting mamma duck brought her brood over to say hello.

3) Meerkats live in groups that are extended families.

4) Swan and her cygnets.

Greetings everyone, this is Mitch. I'll be hosting this week, stepping in at the last minute. Had to think of a theme rather quickly, so I've chosen a nice simple one: PAIRS!! Lots of things come in pairs, let's see your interpretations. 

1) A pair of sleepy Capybaras.

2) A pair of purple Asters.

3) A pair of Ringed Teal.

4) A pair of Chinese dogs.

PICTURE THIS #482~ TRAVELLING

Thanks, Mitch, for selecting one of my recent shots to be banner image for this week. Excellent subject, Benni! I can't imagine life without travelling even if it's throughout one's own country. Travelling broadens one's horizons...

I have cancelled my Photobucket account as well as my Flickr account, considering that from this year on, I will be most of my time not in Lisbon, though I keep my apartment where I will stay now and then. By living in a small town located on the slope of a mountain, internet connections are not good. Anyway, I will be pleased to take part in this very interesting weekly Challenge, whenever I have favourable circumstances, as it's the case today. 

Mitch, I wonder you accept this way...TRAVELLING

Many thanks to Benni for hosting this week  from Florida. I wish I was there right now, rather than the cold Welsh winter. Great theme.....travelling is one of the best things in life. Out of all the places I've visited, the American south-west  holds a special attraction for me, so all of my shots are of locations in that general area. 

1) Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

2) Valley Of Fire State Park, Nevada.

3) Zion National Park, Utah.

4) Hopi Ruins, Wukoki National Monument, Arizona.
